Lost Treasure Found.

GOSl tFSAouIU f0uHd.
Long before Mrs. Stowe began to
arrange or even perhaps to gather
materials for the work hy which her
name will be forever remembered,
Mrs. Horace Mann had written a tale
Of West Indian life, in which the
same subject, slavery, held the fore
most place, as slavery must whenever
and wherever it touches human life
in fiction or history.
That book is now to be read and
the world is entitled to know how it
came to be written and then with
held so long.
These are the words Of the authors
venerable sister, Miss Elizabeth r.
Peabody, addressed 10 Mrs. 10th
rop:
The story is a fiction but the
principal characters and the most
important incidents are real--it was
this that made the author keep back
the book from publication till all
were dead.
1.-THE last one who died was a child
of five or six at the time. He did a
deed in his latter life that lighted up
the tragedy with moral glory that
completed the book as q work of art
the part that touches on this was
lately written.
cit was the merest accident that
the work was not published before
my sisters death, as she so earnestly
desired it should be, for it delineated
some of the actual observations she
made at the awakening of her mind
to the great subject which SO soon
shook the whole fabric of our socie-
ty, but which in 1880 was only be-
ginning to agitate US. The Boston
Mob did not take place, think, till
'35 or g.
"The book was written with 10
moral object in view, but, as she used
to say, it wrote itself on her soul,
and was transcribed as a relief"
When Mrs. Mann was ready to
publish, the last of the real charac-
tiers having passed away, the manu-
script could not be found. 1t had
only been mislaid, however; and af-
ter her death it came to light.
"Juanita, Romance of Real Life
in Cuba" is the title. Pronounced
tChon-ee-tGn.
The beginning is festive scene in
a valley of peace a little in Africa.
The natives had heard of, but had
never seen, the white man. The
white man was to them a SLAYER. He
came with the rattle of firearms,
which were lightning and thunder
bolts to the simple savages. Death,
capture, the ship, the lonely coast,
Havana, the SLAYER himself, his home,
family, visitors-and the tale is be-
gun.
1t shall not be told in our poor
words. The book is written (the
name of the distinguished author
might stand for that) with equal
strength of mind and feeling. A
slavery tale of another country be-
fore the time of Uncle TOMS Cabin.
The writer the scarcely less distin-
guished wife of the man who may be
said in way to have led New Eng
land forty years ago. The book her
only book. To be published shortly
by d. Lothrop Company, Boston.

A MATCH.
-lol-

why, hullo what's upnow, Kate?
Pet dog dead ?
oh, Arthur, how you frightened
me =
For it was her cousin Arthur,
whom she had not seen for year.
There seemed TO be nobody
around, so | just walked in, said he's
seating himself beside her. But /
declare you're cryingl What has
happened, Kate?'
Nothing, Arthur, nothing, she re-
piled, brushing away her tears, and
wishing she could say how dye do
and begin all over again, like Alice
in Wonderland. Her cousin was
tall and handsome fellow, who had
been out West for year and who
had returned for a short vacation be-
fore he finally settled out there. A
small bow-legged bullpup of extreme
ly ferocious aspect, had closely fol-
lowed him into the room and now
sat blinking at the flies that buzzed
swiftly around his nose.
Il didn't expect you so soon; are
you going to stay long?' Kate ask
ed, finally.
Just long enough to take look
at the old places and say goodbye
to my friends BY the way, who
was that I saw in the garden as /
came p
Mr.. Greystone2' suggested Kate.
What not Greystone, the self
made millionaire p
Yes, indeed. And, Arthur, do
you know
yes, Kate
He has just asked me to marry
him.
what, he =? And you-well,w
did you tell himp
Il have not given him my answer,
vet in faltering tone.
sOh, indeed Undecided l sup
pose?'
well, I've-been thinking about
it,
Arthur looked out of the window
and poked his cane meditatively in
to the bullpup's ribs. The pup look
ed reproachfully at him, but kept
his sentiments to himself.
HE is an old friend Of ours, and
respect him highly she continu-
ed.
Arthur still gazed away into the
distance. She began to grow impa-
tent.
Have you anything against him p
she asked, sharply.
Me? Oh, no 4! Scarcely know him,
in fact. So it's a settled thing thenP
why, Arthur, of course not? He
is going to call for his answer Unjust
an hour-that is, an hour from the
time he left me-
In that case l suppose you wish
to be alone while you make up your
mind p
sit down, Arthur, and don't be a
goose. Why, you haven't told me
anything at all about yourself yet.
Let us settle this question of get
ting married first. The hour will
soon be up, suppose. Now, in the
first place, were you'thinking of get
ting married before Mr.. Greystone
made his offer p
No. she answered, beginning to
laugh.
Exactly. l see. He first suggest
ed the subject to you. Made some
pretty strong arguments, I suppose,
in his own favor-if / may ask, that
if
We'll, no, he did not In fact he
didn't say much, anyway
Just So Well, let us consider
the advantages and disadvantages
of getting married. Think how
much pleasure you would have to
give up. Nobody cares for an old |
married woman, you see; aud while
the young folks are enjoying them
selves you will be at home taking
